Our Story


Bluegrass Vineyard is a proudly Woman-owned, small business in Smiths Grove, Kentucky.  We are minutes off of I-65, and just down the street from the new Buc-ee’s!  We are nestled between Mammoth Cave, Bowling Green, and Glasgow Kentucky. 


Bluegrass Vineyard prides itself in quality wine.  We make a wide variety of wines: from sweet to dry, traditional, fruit, desert, and specialty wines!  Specialty wines include wines such as bourbon barrel aged and spice infused or pepper infused wines.  You are sure to find something that you love here at Bluegrass Vineyard! 


We began making small batches of wine in 2009, sharing with friends and family.  Our first vineyard was started in 2013 and our hobby grew and grew until a small business was started out of our basement in 2017.  That small business quickly outgrew the basement, and we moved operations next door in 2019, and soon after that, our first production building was constructed in 2021.  We are always looking forward to our next adventures and growth! 

 

Bluegrass Vineyard turns sunshine into wine! Kentucky has a long history of energy production from resources found below the surface. We are continuing that tradition of energy production, but we use energy from the sun. We currently have 38 solar panels which produce enough energy to power our winery and Bed & Breakfast. We hope to expand our solar production in the future.

 

Adjacent to the winery is a Bed and Breakfast which can be reserved here

Meet the Owner

 

Hi! I’m Jessica Rogers, the proud owner of Bluegrass Vineyard!  I am the maker of all of the delicious wines that Bluegrass Vineyard has to offer and I love to talk with my friends about new wine ideas!  I am a busy mama of four and still work some as a Physical Therapist too.   Sometimes I sleep.  


I started making wine in 2009 and took wine making courses through UC Davis, read a lot of instructions and recipe books, but mostly learned by trial and error and some crazy ideas!  If you do it right, you never really stop learning.  


I try to live by two mottos: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. -Philippians 4:13  And “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy”. -Jane Marczewski (Nitebirde)


Cheers my friend!
